Bai Long felt much more reassured when he saw the situation.
He had feared that Li Zishen would, taking into account Tang Xiaowan’s feelings, give up the land dispute, withdraw from the medical equipment field, and let his overseas plans go to waste, but it turned out he had worried in vain, as Li Zishen remained the insightful and decisive leader of the group.
"Brother Shen, have some breakfast. You were busy all day yesterday and didn’t eat well, which is hard on the stomach."
Bai Long saw Li Zishen’s features relax and thought now he might finally settle down for a meal, but Li Zishen suddenly became serious.
"From now on, do not act rashly again. That Zhao Renjie by Leng Lingxiao’s side... is a tough character. It’s better to be cautious to avoid a loss."
His tone was light, bearing no hint of reprimand, yet it served as a warning.
Bai Long was embarrassed: "Yes, Brother Shen."
Yesterday, none of the three assassins he had sent had returned to report, and it was likely they had met a bad end.
During the night, Bai Long saw how distressed Li Zishen was and wanted to create some chaos, taking the chance to eliminate Leng Lingxiao, but that too ended in failure.
The 39th floor appeared peaceful, but it was tightly guarded, and no one else could infiltrate.
Not questioning did not imply condoning.
Li Zishen wanted to get rid of Leng Lingxiao and wished he could do it himself, but he cared more about Tang Xiaowan’s safety and could not take the risk; he had to plan for the long term.
This, of course, Bai Long understood, but he could not bear to see Li Zishen troubled by emotions.
Li Zishen gave Bai Long a light pat on the shoulder before heading to the dining room, where he was indeed hungry and finally had an appetite.
Bai Long nodded: "Yes, Brother Shen."
"By the way, pay close attention to that Shen Yiming. He may look carefree, but he has some skills. Leng Lingxiao wouldn’t have invited him back just for a vacation."
"They are close friends, with a very good relationship."
"The Huang City Shen Family is a financial dynasty; although this generation hasn’t achieved much, the connections remain."
"Yes, it is said that Old Sir Shen has always..."
While Li Zishen and Bai Long were having breakfast and discussing which people the Shen Family frequently socialized with, a middle-aged man was brought by Zhao Renjie to the supreme suite where Leng Lingxiao stayed.
On the study’s sofa, Leng Lingxiao played with a brass lighter, looking utterly at ease and languid, as if everything was within his control.
And Tang Xiaowan was lost in thought.
She was considering how she should act at the upcoming acquisition ceremony to avoid appearing too naïve and unconvincing.
"Your outfit today has a unique charm. What to do... Shall I come over and hold you?"
"Stop it, I’m really bothered right now."
Leng Lingxiao laughed heartily; he knew what his Little Wife was worried about.
"You’re laughing? Sigh, my head hurts!" Latest content publıshed on novel✦fire.net
"Don’t worry, this will be your turf from now on. Just let loose, and if you don’t like someone, fire them directly; you are the boss here!"
Soon after, the middle-aged man knocked and entered.
He wore a formal, professional, and dignified black suit and, after nodding to Leng Lingxiao, placed a stack of documents on the coffee table.
Tang Xiaowan did not recognize the man in front of her, but he was already very familiar with her.
He was a member of Leng Lingxiao’s team of lawyers.
Whatever companies or properties were registered under Tang Xiaowan’s name, they had all been operated through the hands of this unassuming-looking middle-aged man.
Not only was he loyal, but his capabilities were also strong; indeed, his importance was almost on par with Zhao Renjie.
"Madam, hello, my name is Chen Yaoyang. Mr. Leng has entrusted me to provide you with the necessary legal guidance and to complete the signing of the acquisition contract," the man explained in a gentle yet precise tone.
Tang Xiaowan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Lawyer Chen, please sit down."
"You are too kind, Madam, it is my duty."
Lawyer Chen then began a detailed explanation of the contract terms, discussing the purpose of the contract, the rights and obligations of each party, conditions of payment and delivery, and so on. He also preemptively answered possible points of dispute to ensure Tang Xiaowan could better understand and grasp the entire content of the contract.
What he did not expect was the humble and courteous Tang Xiaowan actually possessed an exceptional memory.
Half an hour later, Leng Lingxiao, holding Tang Xiaowan’s hand, entered the hotel’s large conference room, their imposing presence drawing everyone’s attention.
Following closely behind was Lawyer Chen.
Actually, Leng Lingxiao always conducted his company acquisitions discreetly, never appearing in person.
